SOLKETAL Solketal is a protected form of glycerol with an isopropylidene acetal group joining two neighboring hydroxyl groups. Solketal contains a chiral center on the center carbon of the glycerol backbone, and so can be purchased as either the racemate or as one of the two enantiomers. Solketal has been used extensively in the synthesis of mono-, di- and triglycerides by ester bond formation. The free hydroxyl groups of solketal can be esterified with a carboxylic acid to form the protected monoglyceride, where the isopropylene group can then be removed using an acid catalyst in aqueous or alcoholic medium. The unprotected diol can then be esterified further to form either the di- or triglyceride. Abstract Commercial solketal is known as AugeoTM SL 191 s which stands out as a slow evaporation solvent derived from glycerin which is considered a renewable source. It has low toxicity to human health and the environment. It is a good solvent for resins and polymers, replacing solvents derived from petroleum, and can be used as an additive of (bio) fuels. This work aimed to study acidy zeolites (H-BEA, H-MOR, H-MFI, and H-FER) as new heterogeneous catalysts of solketal production, through the ketalization reaction of glycerol with acetone. The catalytic activity showed H-BEA > H-MOR = H-MFI > H-FER after 180 min, in kinetics study. The major conversion was 85% for H-BEA. It was also verified that all the catalysts can be reused four times without washing or pretreatment among reactions in batch reactor. The solketal produced in this work was characterized by comparing it with its commercial standard, obtaining very similar characteristics transformation of glycerol into solketal (isopropylidene glycerol or 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl methanol) (green solvent) through the ketalization reaction of glycerol with acetone. The reaction for solketal production is facilitated by major homogeneous and heterogeneous acid catalysts (Figure 3). The ketalization of glycerol with ketones generates branched oxygenates, solketal (2,2-dimethyl-[1,3] dioxan-4-yl methanol), and 2,2-dimethyl-[1,3] dioxane-5-ol; however, when the reaction is carried out with acetone, the selectivity is higher for the solketal molecule, which has a five-membered ring [5]. Solketal is an excellent component for the formulation of gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel. it occurs that the output of the remaining acetone and water between 70 and 120°C plus a fraction containing solketal is distilled. Glycerol is only removed when the system reaches 200°C. The yield of the distillation was 60% by mass of solketal over the initial blend (solketal-water-glycerol-traces of acetone). The solketal fraction is colorless but with a lower viscosity than glycerol. Figure 12 shows the appearance of the solketal GreenTec fraction after distillation of the initial blend. FTIR analysis was used to confirm the presence of solketal in the distilled product and to compare it with its Sigma-Aldrich standard. The FTIR spectrum of the solketal GreenTec and solketal Sigma-Aldrich samples is shown in Figure 13. When analyzing Table 4, it is observed that both solketal Sigma-Aldrich and solketal GreenTec present very close densities and viscosities. Table 5 shows that only in the analysis of humidity a significant difference between the solketal samples was noticed. Solketal GreenTec presents 56.41% more humidity than solketal Sigma-Aldrich. To remove this moisture, anhydrous sodium sulfate may be added among other drying agents, and/or the solketal GreenTec fraction is withdrawn from 75°C. Glycerol to solketal transformation is possible to carry out using zeolite acidic catalysts, such as H-BEA, H-MOR, H-MFI, and H-FER, showing a very good activity (conversion 85%) and selectivity (98%). H-BEA presented a larger area, major SAR, and a bigger ratio of the strong:weak sites than the other zeolites. This characteristic contributes to a higher catalytic activity for H-BEA catalyst. All the catalysts can be reused for four times without washing or pretreatment among reactions in batch reactor, but the best catalyst is still the H-BEA zeolite for being more active and showing constant solketal selectivity. The solketal produced in this work was characterized by comparing it with its commercial standard, obtaining very similar characteristics. Solketal: Green and catalytic synthesis and its classification as a solvent - 2,2-dimethyl-4-hidroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane, an interesting green solvent produced through heterogeneous catalysis Most solvents have been labelled as toxic or hazardous substances, but the use of glycerol derivatives could help solve these and other problems. An alternative, green synthesis of 2,2dimethyl-4-hidroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane (solketal), using solid acid catalysts, has been developed. It is shown that using auxiliary solvents is not essential to get good results, and that the solid catalyst can be recovered and reused, improving the productivity. Moreover solketal has been characterized by determining its polarity and hydrophobicity parameters, which allow identifying possible solvent substitution applications more easily. Abstract Solvent-free reactions are the systems of choice in green chemistry. In addition to contributing to lowering the environmental impact of chemical processes, solvent-free systems can reduce production costs, reaction times, and the dimensions of reactors, thereby decreasing investment costs. An improved procedure to prepare 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane (solketal) fatty esters from soybean seeds has been developed. Yields higher than 90% were achieved by combining 15 h of hydrolysis with 6 h of esterification with a stepwise addition of solketal. The synthesis was performed in a solvent-free medium, and the final extraction was accomplished using supercritical CO2 . Hence, we have successfully prepared these esters from soybean beans without using organic solvents. In addition, given the non-toxicity of Rhizopus oryzae and the composition of the remaining solid, it might be used as a raw material for feedstock production. Applications Solketal is useful for synthesis of mono-, di- and triglycerides. It is used as the starting reagent for synthesis of tulipaline derivatives. It acts as a fuel additive in gasoline. It is an inhibitor of Methyl ethyl ketone . Notes Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Incompatible materials are acids, Strong oxidizing agents. Ketalization of glycerol with acetone to synthesize solketal-a potential fuel additive is one of the most promising routes for valorization of glycerol. In this article, state-of-the-art of glycerol ketalization is reviewed, focusing on innovative and potential technologies towards sustainable production of solketal. The glycerol ketalization processes developed in both batch and continuous reactors and performance of some typical catalysts are compared. The mechanisms for the acid-catalyzed conversion of glycerol into solketal are presented. The main operation issues related to catalytic conversion of crude glycerol in a continuous-flow process and the direct use of crude glycerol are discussed. Glycerol to Solketal for Fuel Additive: Recent Progress in Heterogeneous Catalysts Abstract: Biodiesel has been successfully commercialized in numerous countries. Glycerol, as a byproduct in biodiesel production plant, has been explored recently for fuel additive production. One of the most prospective fuel additives is solketal, which is produced from glycerol and acetone via an acetalization reaction. This manuscript reviewed recent progress on heterogeneous catalysts used in the exploratory stage of glycerol conversion to solketal. The effects of acidity strength, hydrophobicity, confinement effect, and others are discussed to find the most critical parameters to design better catalysts for solketal production. Among the heterogeneous catalysts, resins, hierarchical zeolites, mesoporous silica materials, and clays have been explored as effective catalysts for acetalization of glycerol. Challenges with each popular catalytic material are elaborated. Future works on glycerol to solketal will be improved by considering the stability of the catalysts in the presence of water as a byproduct. The presence of water and salt in the feed is certainly destructive to the activity and the stability of the catalysts. Keywords: fuel additives; biodiesel; glycerol; solketal; solid acid catalysts. This mini review paper aims to emphasize the potential exploration of catalytic materials for the conversion of glycerol to solketal by analyzing recent papers, especially open literature from after 2010. Rahmat et al. (2010) [15] wrote an overview of glycerol conversion to fuel additives, with an emphasis on reaction parameters (catalyst, reactant, temperature, and reaction time). In the range of 2009 to 2018, Cornejo et al. [16] wrote a review in 2017 on glycerol valorization to fuel additives over different co-reactants. These included second feeds, such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, butanal, and acetone, and many others. Nanda et al. [17] published a review on solketal as a fuel additive, with an emphasis on the historical and future context. This paper also summarized the effect of acidity, reactor models, kinetics and reactor kinetics, and the daily procedure to use glycerol to solketal. Many scenarios were conducted for the conversion of glycerol to different value-added chemicals, such as propane-acrolein, 1, 3-diol, propane-1,2-diol, acetal or ketal, polyols and polyurethane foams, glycerol carbonate, etc. [10,11,18]. Table 1 shows that among these glycerol conversions, the conversion of glycerol to solketal by acetalization is an interesting route. Solketal is one of the glycerol acetalization products together with glycerol acetal and glycerol formal (GlyF). Similar to other acetalization products, solketal can be used directly as a fuel additive for the reduction of soot and gum formation [19]. Solketal addition to a gasoline blend showed better fuel properties with a higher octane number [19]. Other applications of solketal are in solvents, inks, pharmaceuticals, and paints [20]. Table 1. Different conversion routes from glycerol to value-added products. As shown in Table 2 and Figure 1, different types of catalyst materials were reported for the solketal production consisting of zeolites, clays, resins, heteropolyacids, and others. Each catalyst has both advantages and drawbacks. A homogeneous catalyst, such as H2SO4, offers high activity, however, these homogenous catalysts are corrosive, not recyclable, difficult to separate, and considerably more expensive. Similarly, chloride, such as tin chloride (SnCl2), is also unwanted due to its corrosion tendency [30]. Reusability is also an important part of studies. Reusability is a factor which is studied as a typical sustainable principle. The basic mechanism of the metal salt catalysis is a nucleophilic attack by the hydroxyl group of glycerol to the carbocation obtained from the protonation step, resulting in the formation of the intermediate, followed by a water elimination step. The carbocation is produced from the Lewis or Brønsted acid sites, which activates the ketone carbonyl group through a protonation step (i.e., Brønsted acids) or polarization. Energies 12 02872 g001 550Figure 1. Popularity of different types of catalytic materials for solketal production from 2014 to 2018. (Source: Web of Knowledge, https://www.webofknowledge.com, November 2018). Table 2. Classification of heterogeneous catalysts for solketal production. However, homogeneous catalysts are not considered as environmental-friendly for the reaction system. Another challenge in the utilization of heterogeneous catalysts in solketal production is the byproduct (water) formed during the reaction, which induces a reversible reaction. Heterogeneous catalysts are regenerated easily and are more easily handled. Many resin catalysts exhibited excellent conversion of glycerol to solketal and selectivity, where the best catalytic performance was obtained by amberlyst. However, it is not feasible for a higher scale of production due to the limitation of thermal stability, so it is not easy to regenerate. The higher thermal stability can be found in hierarchical zeolite. The highest conversion of glycerol to solketal of 72% and the selectivity of 72% are reached by using H-Beta (BEA framework) under the condition of 60 °C, stirring at 700 rpm, 5% of catalyst, and molar ratio of glycerol:acetone of 1:4 for H-BEA. Within the zeolite materials, MFI zeolite showed 80%, which is a lower catalytic activity in comparison with amberlyst, but with almost 100% selectivity. The lower conversion is due to the relatively narrow channel size that affects the transport of the reactant carried out and the shape selectivity. 2. Glycerol-to-Solketal Over Resin Catalysts Overall, the most important properties of solid acid catalysts for the conversion glycerol to solketal production was the Brønsted acidity of solid acids [31]. The conversion of glycerol to solketal with resin catalysts has been carried out [32,33,34,35,36]. Table 3 summarizes the conversion of glycerol to solketal over resin catalysts. A typical resin catalyst (i.e., amberlyst) catalyzed the reaction of glycerol with acetone to produce above 80% of the glycerol conversion. Guidi et al. [36] reported that a resin, amberlyst-36, which was applied at different reaction temperatures from 25 to 70 °C, was an excellent catalyst to convert glycerol with a conversion of 85% to 97% to solketal with a selectivity of 99%. The catalyst is also active at lower pressures with similar reaction parameters either in pure glycerol or in an equimolar reactant. According to some references, the high conversion was influenced not only by the surface acidity but also by the resin structure. Moreover, the surface acidity was an important parameter that played a crucial role in improving the selectivity and the conversion in the production of solketal. Although amberlyst-46 and amberlyst-36 is a similar material, both types of resins have a different acid capacity and structure morphology. Furthermore, all resins showed good selectivity to solketal (>80%), and the important catalytic parameter of the resin to conversion glycerol is the acid capacity (oversulfonated resin). With the highest acid capacity (sulfonic acid), these catalyst materials can improve not only the selectivity to solketal production but also the conversion of raw glycerol to above 90%. Another important thing to be highlighted as a limitation of the catalyst activity is the presence of NaCl as a poison for the surface acidity, which is possibly due to the impurities in glycerol. Table 3. Glycerol-to-solketal over resin catalysts. Table 3. Glycerol-to-Solketal over Mesoporous Silica Koranyi et al. [37] reported the superiority of hafnium and zirconium modified TUD-1 as superior catalysts for the conversion of glycerol to solketal. These two catalysts (Hf-TUD-1 and Zr-TUD-1) were more active than Sn-MCM-41 and Al-TUD-1. The Zr and Hf-TUD-1 are examples of active metal-modified mesoporous silica in which Hf and Zr are in the framework. Their activity was higher than FAU(USY) and Al(TUD-1). The highest conversion of glycerol to solketal was more than 50%. The catalytic activity was a function of (i) the number of acid sites, (ii) the presence of mesopores, (iii) the existence of a large surface area, and (iv) the hydrophobicity of the catalyst [38]. The later, the hydrophobicity of the catalyst, was crucial to prevent the hydrolysis of solketal [37,38,39,40,41]. According to Table 4, Cs 2.5/KIT-6 catalyst was one of the best catalysts for the conversion of glycero-to-solketal [42]. KIT-6 was selected because of its large surface area (600-1000 m2/g), active sites, and accessible pores [42]. Table 4. Glycerol-to-solketal over mesoporous silica. Numerous references reported that mesoporous silica catalysts have the advantage of high stability in the conversion of glycerol to solketal, resulting in products with a relatively large percentage of conversion (95%) and selectivity to solketal (98%) [37,42,43,44,45,46]. The mesoporous structure with an activated surface by sulfonic acid might be applied efficiently for the conversion of glycerol to fuel additive [37,43,47]. A sulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous polymer (MP-SO3H) contains a high acidity surface (1.88 mmol/g). The surface acidity of catalytic materials can accelerate the formation products of solketal via ketalization reactions as shown in Figure 2. Energies 12 02872 g002 550Figure 2. Scheme of mechanism for the ketalization reaction of glycerol and acetone. 4. Ketalization of Glycerol over Clay Minerals Malaya et al. [17,48] studied different clay-based catalysts with different acid strengths ranging from 0.12 to 5.7 meq/g [17]. The results show that a stronger acidity improved the conversion of glycerol up to ca. 80%. As shown in Table 5, solketal production from glycerol used two different sources, namely acetone or formaldehyde over solid acid catalysts [49,50,51,52]. Based on the conversion of glycerol and selectivity to solketal, the clay catalyst which showed the optimum results was reported by Timofeeva et al. in a batch reactor with activated catalyst by nitric acid of 0.5 M [53]. In the activated K10 montmorillonite by acid solution, this impact causes an increasing rate of reaction with the acid site of the material. It is well-known that the acid activation of natural montmorillonite with nitric acid can change the structure of montmorillonite (leaching of Al3+ cations from the octahedral to increase the surface area and microporosity of catalyst materials) [54,55,56]. The reaction of solketal production is shown in Figure 3. The use of formaldehyde as the major source of solketal production has a lower conversion value (only 83% glycerol conversion), with the K10 montmorillonite used as a catalyst. It may be due to the formation of the hemiacetal or hemicetal via two different pathways. The reaction between glycerol and acetone is preferred as it produces a more stable intermediate, hemicetal compound, with a tertiary carbenium ion [37]. While, in the reaction between glycerol with formaldehyde, the produced hemiacetal formation is not a stable carbenium ion. Thus, the conversion value for the glycerol-formaldehyde system is relatively small as compared to the reaction where acetone is used as a co-reactant [57,58,59]. Energies 12 02872 g003 550Figure 3. Synthesis scheme of glycerol to solketal. Table 5. Glycerol-to-solketal over clay minerals. Koranyi et al. (2012) [37] reported the effect of water as an impurity in the acetalization of glycerol. The presence of water reduced the activity ca. 50% lower than the one with the model compound (pure glycerol). A high number of Brønsted and Lewis sites does not correspond directly to a high activity. Dealumination FAU and Al-TUD-1 with a high Brønsted and Lewis acidity were poor in the acetalization of glycerol [37]. Hydrophobic catalysts, such as hafnium and TUD-1 zirconium on TUD-1, are very prospective for glycerol to solketal. Ammaji et al. (2017) [62] also reported a similar observation, as the Zr-SBA-15 was the most active and selective catalyst. 5. Perspective on Ketalization of Glycerol over Hierarchical Zeolites Dmitriev et al. (2016) [63] reported that zeolite beta was the most active solid acid catalyst as compared to amberlist-35 and cation-exchange resin (KU-2-8) [62]. The zeolite beta applied was a commercial one from zeolyst with SiO2/Al2O3 of 25 and a zeolite beta made by Angarsk. Kowalska et al. [64,65] studied the effect of (i) different zeolite topologies (MFI, BEA, and MOR), (ii) Si/Al ratio from 9.2 to 25.8, and (iii) mesoporosity. Two parent MFI zeolites with different Si/Al were applied (Si/Al = 12 and Si/Al = 27) [64]. The hierarchical zeolites were obtained by desilication using 0.2 M NaOH and dealumination using citric acid (0.5 M) and nitric acid (0.5 M). The diffusion limitation of the parent zeolites was considered as the highest activity of the parent MFI was significantly lower than the one from the hierarchical MFI. A high selectivity (up to 100%) to solketal was obtained with an acetone:glycerol ratio of 1. A higher acetone to glycerol ratio was obtained over a higher acetone to glycerol ratio. Both desilication and dealumination are very effective in improving the catalyst stability of zeolite based catalyst [66,67,68]. Rossa et al. [69] conducted the kinetics study of acetalization of glycerol with acetone to produce solketal with optimization of the kinetics parameters. Zeolite beta with an Si/Al of 19 was applied to find the best parameters: (i) External mass transfer (stirring rate), (ii) temperature, (iii) catalyst amount, and (iv) glycerol to acetone ratio. The targeted goals were glycerol conversion and solketal selectivity. The experimental design for beta zeolite showed that the suggested reaction parameters are: Temperature at 60 °C, stirring rate of 700 rpm, catalyst loading of 5%, and glycerol to acetone ratio of 1:3. A higher acetone content will increase the conversion of glycerol [24,70]. However, an increase of the acetone to glycerol ratio will increase the exergy destruction rate due to a reduction in the rate of formation toward the product and a higher consumption of electrical exergy to the acetalization reactor [20,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80]. Hierarchical zeolite shows excellent glycerol conversion and selectivity to solketal through acetalization reactions. The catalytic materials show a higher glycerol conversion (until more than an 80% glycerol conversion) as compared to other porous and non-porous catalysts due to a large pore size and easy molecular diffusivity. The enhancement of the catalytic activity of zeolites in glycerol acetalization, through the generation of a hierarchical porosity, has been applied by different authors as shown in Table 6. Based on the literature, the crystallite size was one of the most determining factors in the activity of hierarchical zeolite as a catalyst [64,81,82,83,84,85]. The smaller the crystal size of zeolite, the easier the diffusion of the reactant and products though the zeolite pores [73,86,87]. The pore structure of the zeolite can be changed through the dealumination and desilication processes. The process not only can change the mesopore materials but also can increase the catalytic activity (improving the accessibility and mass transfer on the surface) [88]. Hierarchical zeolites with different topologies, such as ZSM-5 (MFI) [67,89,90], beta (BEA) [81,91,92], and Y (FAU) [64], have also been used in the acetalization of glycerol, and the results show that smaller pores can produce high glycerol conversion and selectivity to selectivity (almost 100% selective for solketal formation). However, overall, all materials displayed very good catalytic performance when reacting equimolar mixtures of glycerol and acetone [37,39]. From the experiments on H-beta zeolite, it was found that dealumination resulted in a decrease of strong acid sites, thus decreasing the catalytic activity. Table 6. Glycerol-to-solketal over hierarchical zeolite catalysts. 6. Solketal Synthesis over Carbon/Activated Carbon-Based Catalyst Considering the abundant source of biomass as carbon and activated-carbon precursor, activated carbons were functionalized with acid groups for solketal synthesis [93,94]. Some papers showed the excellent performance of activated carbon for catalyzing the conversion of glycerol to solketal (Table 7) and some of these exhibited a high activity and selectivity under green conditions (solvent-free conditions at a mild temperature). The high surface area of activated carbon preserves the higher surface acid sites by some modification, including acid, metal, and composite modifications [24,95,96,97]. Therefore, they are promising candidates as heterogeneous catalysts for the acetalization of acetone with glycerol. From the utilization of acid functionalized activated carbon, the superior catalytic activity of the four acid-treated carbons was underlined as compared to the untreated activated carbon, confirming the importance of the higher number and strength of acid sites generated by the acid treatments. The catalysts were prepared by HNO3 and H2SO4 treatment to activated carbon. The catalytic activity of the catalyst showed excellent performance due to the high conversion and selectivity at room temperature. Table 7. Glycerol-to-solketal over carbon/activated carbon-based catalyst. From the acid-modified carbon catalyst, it was found that the presence of acid groups, mainly sulfonic groups, was the key factor for the improved catalytic performance. A similar pattern also appeared from the Ni-Zr support on the activated carbon [100], in which the active metal contributes by enhancing the catalyst acidity. Another factor affecting the catalytic activity was the higher total acid density, the large mesopore of the carbon structure, and the activity of the metals. 7. Perspective and Conclusions This mini review highlighted the recent development on solid catalysts for the conversion of glycerol-to-solketal. The product is an additive for fuels, which are very useful to reduce GHGs and to improve the economic viability of biodiesel business [6,8,16,20,34,101,102,103,104,105]. Tailor-made heterogeneous catalyst for an optimal conversion of glycerol is developed and required. Five major heterogeneous catalysts were emphasized in this study: Resins, mesoporous silica, zeolites, clays, and activated carbons. The stability of catalysts is one of the main hurdles for the commercialization of glycerol to solketal. Even though the reaction temperature was considered as mild, the stability of most of the solid catalysts decayed in the presence of water as a byproduct and other impurities (NaCl, methanol) from the glycerol source. The deactivation rate is even higher when the raw glycerol (contaminated with water) was fed to the reactor [106,107,108,109]. Therefore, the viability of the commercial plant depends on (i) the source of feeds [110], (ii) availability of glycerol and other feeds, and (iii) cost of glycerol as the feed. Acidity is agreed as an important properties of zeolite catalysts for glycerol to solketal. Strong acidity and medium hydrophobicity were expected in the design of the reactor. Based on some limitations of the catalyst performance, the utilization of raw glycerol directly will reduce the stability of the catalyst. This review described how a better material should be designed for the optimum conversion of glycerol (and generally polyol) to solketal. Hydrophobic catalysts, such as hafnium/TUD-1 and zirconium/TUD-1, are very prospective for glycerol to solketal. Extended works on low aluminum mesoporous silica materials are expected in the coming years. Conflicts of Interest The authors declare no conflict of interest. Solketal is a protected form of glycerol with an isopropylidene acetal group joining two neighboring hydroxyl groups. Solketal contains a chiral center on the center carbon of the glycerol backbone, and so can be purchased as either the racemate or as one of the two enantiomers. Solketal has been used extensively in the synthesis of mono-, di- and triglycerides by ester bond formation. The free hydroxyl groups of solketal can be esterified with a carboxylic acid to form the protected monoglyceride, where the isopropylene group can then be removed using an acid catalyst in aqueous or alcoholic medium. The unprotected diol can then be esterified further to form either the di- or triglyceride. Due to the high growth of biodiesel production, glycerol, a major by-product from transesterification, is also produced at the same growing rate, resulting in its oversupply. This situation brings the price of glycerol to drop dramatically. Solketal, a derivative from glycerol, can be utilized by blending with gasoline or biodiesel as an additive. This work studies the synthesis of solketal from glycerol and acetone using homogeneous acid catalyst. The reaction progresses successfully when using the acetone in excess. Subsequently, the prepared solketal is used for synthesizing benzyl solketal ether by performing reaction with benzyl alcohol. However, several other products such as benzyl glycerol ether, dibenzyl ether and glycerol are formed. It was found that the high ratio of solketal to benzyl alcohol is required to increase selectivity toward benzyl solketal ether. In the first generation biodiesel production, triglyceride from vegetable oil and methanol are reacted by transesterification reaction to produce fatty acid methyl ester or biodiesel and also obtain glycerol as an unavoidable by-product. Since the production of biodiesel has been increasing rapidly, this causes the glycerol obtained as a by-product to be oversupplied, leading to the price drop of glycerol. Therefore, finding the way to utilize glycerol is suggested to help the overall economic of biodiesel production. Solketal is a derivative which the two adjacent hydroxyl groups of glycerol are reacted via condensation acetone [1]. Solketal can be blended for fuel additives in gasoline [2] or biodiesel [3]. Nowadays solketal can be produced by condensation reaction of glycerol and acetone with acid catalyst [2]. The interesting derivative from solketal is benzyl solketal ether. Benzyl solketal ether is the oxygenated compound and also can be use for fuel additives. Currently, benzyl solketal ether was produced by organic synthesis. In this organic synthesis, solketal is reacted with benzyl chloride with solvents [4]. The problem is using a lot of solvents in the synthesis of benzyl solketal ether. The purpose of this work is divided into two parts. First is the solketal production from glycerol and acetone. Subsequently, the synthesis of benzyl solketal ether from solketal and benzyl alcohol is investigated in the system without solvent. The effect of molar ratio is studied in this part and the optimum condition to produce benzyl solketal ether is investigated. Glycerol and acetone are the raw materials used for producing solketal by condensation reaction. Solketal or isopropylidene glycerol contains the center of glycerol backbone which an isopropylidene group bound to two neighboring hydroxyl group as shown in Fig. 1. Benzyl solketal ether is derived from etherification between solketal and benzyl alcohol (Fig. 3). Benzyl solketal ether can be used as fuel additive. Moreover benzyl solketal ether can be deprotected to obtained benzyl glycerol ether with the ether group at D position of glycerol. In general, benzyl solketal ether is synthesized by reacting benzyl chrolide or benzyl bromide and solketal with solvent [5]. But there are many disadvantages from this organics synthesis for example: a lot of waste from used solvent. In this work, the etherification reaction between solketal and benzyl alcohol without solvent is investigated. However, there were several by-products, which are glycerol, acetone, benzyl solketal ether, benzyl glycerol ether and dibenzyl ether. Fig. 3 is shown the possible reactions and products from reaction of solketal and benzyl alcohol. The main reaction is the reaction between solketal and benzyl alcohol to produce benzyl solketal ether and water (Fig. 3 (1)). From the acid catalyst, solketal could be able to be decomposed to produce acetone and glycerol (Fig. 3 (2)). Benzyl alcohol is also reacted with each other to produce dibenzyl ether and water (Fig. 3 (3)). Glycerol from the deprotection is able to react with benzyl alcohol to produce benzyl glycerol ether (Fig. 3 (4)). Fortunately, the di- and tri- benzyl glycerol ether are not observed from the GC×GC time of flight mass spectroscopy. In this case, glycerol reacted with acetone back to produce solketal to protected glycerol before reacted with other benzyl alcohol. The last suggested reaction is benzyl solketal ether is depotected by the water in the system to produce benzyl glycerol ether (Fig. 3 (5)). The solketal to benzyl alcohol molar ratio is first set at 1:1 solketal to benzyl alcohol molar ratio. Fig. 4 shows the relationships between benzyl alcohol conversion, selectivity and time. As observed, after 2 hours, the benzyl alcohol quickly converts to 57.5% conversion and then continuously converts to 92.9% after 12 hours.

Chemical formula: C6H8O2
Molar mass: 112.128 g

Sorbic acid, or 2,4-hexadienoic acid, is a natural organic compound used as a food preservative.
Sorbic acid has the chemical formula CH3(CH)4CO2H. Sorbic acid is a colourless solid that is slightly soluble in water and sublimes readily.
Sorbic acid was first isolated from the unripe berries of the Sorbus aucuparia (rowan tree), hence its name.

Production
The traditional route to sorbic acid involves condensation of malonic acid and trans-butenal.
Sorbic acid can also be prepared from isomeric hexadienoic acids, which are available via a nickel-catalyzed reaction of allyl chloride, acetylene, and carbon monoxide.
The route used commercially, however, is from crotonaldehyde and ketene.
An estimated 30,000 tons are produced annually.

History
Sorbic acid was isolated in 1859 by distillation of rowanberry oil by A. W. von Hofmann.
This affords parasorbic acid, the lactone of sorbic acid, which he converted to sorbic acid by hydrolysis.
Sorbic acid's antimicrobial activities were discovered in the late 1930s and 1940s, and it became commercially available in the late 1940s and 1950s.
Beginning in the 1980s, sorbic acid and its salts were used as inhibitors of Clostridium botulinum in meat products to replace the use of nitrites, which can produce carcinogenic nitrosamines.

Properties and uses
With a pKa of 4.76, it is about as acidic as acetic acid.

Sorbic acid and its salts, such as sodium sorbate, potassium sorbate, and calcium sorbate, are antimicrobial agents often used as preservatives in food and drinks to prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi.
In general the salts are preferred over the acid form because they are more soluble in water, but the active form is the acid.

The optimal pH for the antimicrobial activity is below pH 6.5. Sorbates are generally used at concentrations of 0.025% to 0.10%. Adding sorbate salts to food will, however, raise the pH of the food slightly so the pH may need to be adjusted to assure safety.
Sorbic acid is found in foods such as cheeses and breads.

The E numbers are:

E200 Sorbic acid
E201 Sodium sorbate
E202 Potassium sorbate
E203 Calcium sorbate
Some molds (notably some Trichoderma and Penicillium strains) and yeasts are able to detoxify sorbates by decarboxylation, producing trans-1,3-pentadiene.
The pentadiene manifests as a typical odor of kerosene or petroleum.
Other detoxification reactions include reduction to 4-hexenol and 4-hexenoic acid.

Sorbic acid can also be used as an additive for cold rubber, and as an intermediate in the manufacture of some plasticizers and lubricants.

Sorbic acid is a hexadienoic acid with double bonds at C-2 and C-4; it has four geometrical isomers, of which the trans,trans-form is naturally occurring.
Sorbic acid is a hexadienoic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, a medium-chain fatty acid and an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid.
Sorbic acid is a conjugate acid of a sorbate.

Sorbic acid is a naturally occurring compound that’s become the most commonly used food preservative in the world, and it makes the global food chain possible.
Sorbic acid’s highly effective at inhibiting the growth of mold, which can spoil food and spread fatal diseases.

For example, when sorbic acid is sprayed on the exterior of a country ham, there won’t be any mold growth for 30 days.
This allows for food to be shipped and stored all over the globe.

Sorbic acid is a preferred preservative compared to nitrates, which can form carcinogenic byproducts.
Sorbic acid’s applied to food by either spraying or dipping the food with a solution of sorbic acid and water.

Sorbic acid is most commonly found in foods, animal feeds, pharmaceutical drugs, and cosmetics.

When it comes to human foods, sorbic acid is most commonly used in:
wines
cheeses
baked goods
fresh produce
refrigerated meat and shellfish

Sorbic acid is used to preserve meats because of its natural antibiotic capabilities.
In fact, its earliest use was against one of the deadliest toxins known to mankind, the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism. Sorbic acids use saved countless lives by preventing bacterial growth while allowing meats to be transported and stored safely.

Because of its anti-fungal properties, sorbic acid is also used in canned goods, including pickles, prunes, maraschino cherries, figs, and prepared salads.

Sorbic acid and its calcium, potassium, and sodium salts are used as preservatives in a wide range of food, including dairy, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, bakery, emulsions, beverages, and so on.

Sorbic acid and its potassium salt are widely used antimicrobial preservatives in foods, especially for preventing mold growth on food products.
Sorbates have been infrequently implicated in adverse reactions, especially by the oral route.

Many of the studies on sorbate have the same methodologic flaws as described for tartrazine.
Among 226 patients with chronic urticaria who were challenged with 50 to 200 mg of sorbic acid, none had responses.

Sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, and calcium sorbate are novel, highly efficient, safe, and nonpoisonous food preservatives.
They are the substitute for the benzoic acid as a traditional preservative.

Sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, and calcium sorbate approved worldwide are often now successfully used as standard products in many branches of the food industry.
As they are acidic preservatives, it is better to use them at pH 5–6.

Sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, and calcium sorbate are unsaturated fatty acids and salts of unsaturated fatty acids, which participate in the normal fat metabolism in human body and are oxidized into carbon dioxide and finally water.
They do not accumulate in the human body.

Sorbic acid derives its name from Sorbus aucuparia, because it was from berries of this tree that it was first isolated.
Seventy years later its potential as an antimicrobial agent was discovered, and sorbic acid and its salts (generally called sorbate) are now used as preservatives in a variety of foods in many countries.

Sorbic acid is an unsaturated aliphatic straight-chain monocarboxylic fatty acid, 2,4-hexadienoic acid.
Salts and esters form by reaction with the carboxyl group; reactions also occur via its conjugated double bond.
The acid and its sodium, calcium and potassium salts are used in food.

The potassium salt is commonly used because it is more stable and easier to produce.
Furthermore, its greater solubility extends the use of sorbate to solutions appropriate for dipping and spraying.
Other derivatives with antimicrobial capabilities (sorboyl palmitate, sorbamide, ethyl sorbate, sorbic anhydride) have limited use because they are more insoluble, toxic and unpalatable.

Sorbate has several advantages as a preservative in food.
Initially thought to have only antimycotic activity, it is now known to also inhibit bacteria. Effective concentrations do not normally alter the taste or odour of products.

In addition it has more activity at less acidic values (> pH 6.0) than propionate or benzoate. Sorbate is also considered harmless. Following thorough toxicological testing it was generally recommended as safe (GRAS).

Metabolism of sorbate in the body is by β-oxidation (as for other fatty acids), forming CO2 and water. Sorbic acid has a yield of 28 kJ g−1 (of which 50% is biologically usable) and a half-life in the body of 40–110 min.

Sorbic acids acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 25 mg kg−1 body weight is higher than that of other preservatives.
Sorbic acid is considered less toxic than NaCl, with a median lethal dose (LD50) of 10 g kg−1, compared with 5 g kg−1 for NaCl.

Sorbic acid is the most common food preservative against molds, bacteria, fungi, and yeasts.
Sorbic acid is favored for its organoleptic neutrality, safety, and efficacy in low moisture foods such as cheeses, and bakery.

Sorbic acid is a carboxylic acid that is slightly soluble in water and is available as a powder, granules, or microcapsules.
Sorbic acid can be applied to foods using various methods:

Dipping and spraying finished products with solutions.
Dusting with powdered sorbic acid
Mixing into formula dry ingredients
Treatment of packaging material

Origin
Natural sorbic acid was first isolated in 1859 from unripe berries of the rowan tree (Sorbus aucuparia) in the form of the lactone parasorbic acid which was converted to sorbic acid.

In 1900, this acid was first synthesized from the condensation of crotonaldehyde and malonic acid.
Sorbic acids antimicrobial activity was recognized in the late 1930s.
Sorbic acids proven efficacy in treating meats against the bacteria Clostridium botulinum in meats encourage its large scale production in the 1950’s.

Commercial Production
Several routes are known for the commercial production mainly the reaction of crotonaldehyde and ketene.

Alternate methods include the condensation of malonic acid and trans-butenal or derivation from isomeric hexadienoic acids produced by catalytic reactions of allyl chloride, acetylene and carbon monoxide.
Powdered acid can be granulated via extrusion or pelletization to enhance its solubility.

Function
Microbial inhibition by sorbic acid is variable and depends on species, strains, composition of food, pH, aw, processing, temperature, and concentration of sorbate.
In baking, it is used in sliced and packaged bread, bagels and pita as well as in par-baked, baked goods and frozen doughs.

Optimal antimicrobial activity is at pH below 6.5 (maximum activity at pH 4.76), an advantage compared to benzoic and propionic acids which lose their activities at pH 4.5 – 5.5.

Practical considerations when using this acid in baking:

Sorbic acid has a water solubility of around 0.16g/100 ml which increases with temperature but is reduced in the presence of sugars.4
This acid inhibits yeasts strains differently, as some strains are more tolerant to its effects than others.
Sodium sorbate, calcium sorbate, and potassium sorbates are more soluble in water than sorbic acid. So, they are more commonly used in foods.
However, they may raise the pH slightly, therefore some medium adjustments may be necessary.

Sorbic acid, is a reliable preservative that is highly effective and absolutely safe for the consumer.
Sorbic acid provides strong protection against numerous molds, yeast and many bacteria.
Growth of several mycotoxin-forming molds is also inhibited.
Sorbic acid is a fatty acid similar to those found naturally in foods.

Sorbic acid is only sparingly soluble in water.
Therefore, sorbic acid is mainly used in products with low water content e.g., in baked goods or in fatty media.
Upon request, Nutrinova Sorbic Acid is available in pharmaceutical grade.

Advantages at a glance:

outstanding mold and yeast protection
purity and quality exceed the highest international requirements
excellent storage stability
neutral taste and odor
easy and economical to use
fully degradable, similar to fatty acids found naturally in foods

The antimicrobial action of sorbic acid, first manufactured by Hofmann from rowan berry oil in 1859, was discovered in Germany by Muller in 1939 and inde- pendently, a few months later, by Gooding in the USA.

Sorbic acid first became available from industrial production in the mid-1950s and has since been used to a growing extent for food preservation throughout the world.
Sorbic acid is now increasingly preferred to other preservatives because of its physiological harmlessness and organoleptic neutrality.

Available Forms, Derivatives
Sorbic acid is used both as a free acid and as its potassium and calcium salts in various forms (powder, granules, solutions).
The esters of sorbic acid with low aliphatic alcohols, which likewise have a preservative action, are of no importance as food preservatives, owing to their powerful self-odor.

Properties
CH3-CH=CH-CH=CH-COOH, molar mass 112.13, white monoclinic crystals with a faint specific odor and sour taste which melt at 132 to 135°C. At room tempera- ture 0.16 g sorbic acid dissolve in 100 g water and 0.07 g in 100 g 10% sodium chloride solution.
Some 13 g sorbic acid dissolve in 100 g anhydrous ethanol or in 100 g glacial acetic acid.

Sorbic acids solubility in fatty oils is 0.5 to 1g per 100 g, depending on the type of oil in question.
Potassium sorbate, molar mass 150.22, white powder or granules.
The most readily soluble of the sorbates.
At room temperature, 138 g potassium sorbate dissolves in 100 g water.

Up to 54 g potassium sorbate dissolves in 100 g 10% sodium chlo- ride solution.
Calcium sorbate, white, odorless and tasteless powder resembling talcum.
Solubility in water 1.2 g/100 g.

In solid form, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate and especially calcium sorbate are very stable, despite the two double bonds in the molecule.
In solutions, the pre- sence of oxygen causes oxidative degradation which may result in brown dis- coloration (Thakur et al. 1994).

In commercial food preservation this is of no importance, since treated foods are generally consumed before any appreciable degradation occurs. Many other food ingredients, e. g. fat and flavorings, are in any case much more sensitive to oxidation than sorbic acid.

Analysis
Because of its volatility in steam, sorbic acid can be quantitatively isolated by acid steam distillation from the food to be investigated.
The criterion used for qualita- tive detection and quantitative determination is the red coloration that sorbic acid produces with 2-thiobarbituric acid after oxidation with potassium dichromate (Schmidt 1960).

As a polyunsaturated compound, sorbic acid displays a pronounc- ed absorption maximum at some 260 nm (depending on the pH of the solution), which can be likewise used for quantitative determination (Luckmann and Mel- nick 1955).
HPLC has emerged as the preferred method for determining sorbic acid and is sometimes used in multimethods, which can be employed for detecting benzoic acid, salicylic acid, parabens and sorbic acid simultaneously.

In most cases RP-18 phases are used as stationary phases, with UV detection at wavelengths of 230 nm.
Methods have been published both for detecting sorbic acid in foods in general (Bui and Kooper 1987, Hagenauer-Hener et al. 1990, Reifschneider et al. 1994) and for detecting sorbates and other preservatives specifically in cheese (Kuppers 1988), yogurt (Olea Serrano et al. 1991), fruit juices (Kantasubrata and Imamkhasani 1991) and wine (Flak and Schaber 1988).

Standardized methods of detecting sorbates (GC, TLC and HPLC) have been published in the revised edition of the Swiss Foodstuffs Manual (1992).
There is also a method for detecting them in liquid tabletop sweeteners in accordance with § 35 of the Federal German food law (1.57.22.99).

Rather unconventional techni- ques of detecting sorbic acid by ion chromatography or capillary isotachophore- sis (Karovicova et al. 1991) have not so far become established in routine use. X-ray structural analysis of sorbic acid has also been described (Cox 1994).

Production
Nowadays the only industrial production method used for sorbic acid is that em- ploying ketene and crotonaldehyde.
A polymeric ester forms as an intermediate (Luck 1993).
The production of sorbic acid by the oxidation of 2,4-hexadienal has ceased to be of any significance.

Sorbic acid, an unsaturated six-carbon fatty acid, is a naturally occurring preservative that is used less in food compared to its potassium salt – potassium sorbate (E202) due to the slight solubility in water.
This ingredient can be used in low water content food such as baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, meat and fatty media.

Sorbic acid is generally used to inhibit the growth of molds (also mycotoxin-forming molds), yeast and some bacteria.
The European food additive number for it is E200.

Sorbic acid is commercially synthesized from the condensation between ketene and crotonaldehyde instead of extracted from berries.
The manufacturing process is described in the first three steps of production of potassium sorbate.

The bacteriostatic or bactericidal mechanism of sorbic acid are the same as that of potassium sorbate.
When added to water, potassium sorbate dissociates into sorbic acid and potassium ions.
Sorbic acid is the sorbic acid that is active as an antimicrobial preservative.

Like benzoic acid, sorbic acid is a lipid-soluble weak acid that:

enters into the cell of microbial through the cell membrane
then accumulates and finally influences the internal PH of microbial
eventually disrupts its transport functions and metabolic activity
result in the death of the microbial

Food
Sorbic acid can prevent the spoilage of yeast, mold, and some bacteria in food and therefore prolong food shelf life.
Sorbic acid can be used to preserve foods with low water content and the following food may contain it:

cheese
dried fruit
yogurt
pet foods
dried meats
baked goods.

Solubility

In water
Slightly soluble in water (solubility 0.16 g/100 mL at 20 °C) so it is not suitable to use it in food with much water content.
Generally, it is made into salts form, potassium sorbate, which is the commonly utilized form.

In organic solvent
Soluble in ethanol, ether, propylene glycol, peanut oil, glycerin and glacial acetic acid.

Ph
The antimicrobial activity of sorbic acid generates when it is in the form of a molecule, the condition of undissociated.

The PKa of sorbic acid is 4.76.
That’s to say, its inhibitory activity rises as pH value (below 4.76) decreases as the percentage of the undissociated sorbic acid goes up, this leads to the enhanced antimicrobial activity.

The optimal pH for the antimicrobial activity is from 3.0 to 6.5.

What’re the Uses of Sorbic Acid?
Sorbic acid and potassium sorbate have become the primary preservatives in food application due to its good antimicrobial activity & effectiveness in the weak acid pH range and their safety over benzoic acid and sodium benzoate.

Mostly, it protects food from yeast and mold spoilage and commonly added with usage from 0.025% to 0.10%.

Sorbic acid is a short-chained unsaturated (has double bonds) fatty acid. Sorbic acids iupac name is 2,4 hexadienoic acid and its chemical formula is C6H8O2.
Sorbic acid has a carboxylic tail which has a pKa of 4.76. Sorbic acids melting and boiling points are 136 and 228 degrees Celsius, respectively.

Sorbic acid is commonly used by the food industry as a preservative because its mineral salts have antimicrobial properties in acidic solutions.
Sorbic acids undissociated form is several degrees more antimicrobial then its dissociated form and is a function of pH, yet both have antimicrobial properties.

Sorbic acid is particularly effective against fungi and has the advantage of not diminishing overtime.
Generally, a fungistatic dose in the presence of ethanol and sulfur is roughly 200 mg/L.
Sorbic acid can also be used to remove mineral deposits.
Sorbic acid by itself has subtle sensory characteristics, but a portion of the population finds it particularly offensive.

Sorbic acid (C6H8O2) is a natural preservative that comes from the rowan berries, Sorbus aucuparia (family Rosaceae). Sorbic acid is also prepared synthetically.
Sorbic acid inhibits growth of fungi, yeast, mold and some bacteria and is nearly nontoxic to humans.
Sorbic acid is safe to use in a wide range of foods, drugs, and cosmetic products.
Sorbic acid and its salts, sodium sorbate, potassium sorbate and calcium sorbate are often used in food products as preservatives.

Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) and its salts, especially potassium sorbate and calcium sorbate, are antimicrobial agents often used as preservatives in food and drinks to prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi.
In general the salts are preferred over the acid form because they are more soluble in water, but the active form is the acid.
The optimal pH for the antimicrobial activity is below pH 6.5.
Sorbates are generally used at concentrations of 0.025% to 0.10%.
Adding sorbate salts to food will, however, raise the pH of the food slightly so the pH may need to be adjusted to assure safety.

Production
The traditional route to sorbic acid involves condensation of malonic acid and crotonaldehyde.
Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) can also be prepared from isomeric hexadienoic acids, which are available via a nickel-catalyzed reaction of allyl chloride, acetylene, and carbon monoxide.
The route used commercially, however, is from crotonaldehyde and ketene.
An estimated 30,000 tons are produced annually.

Biotechnological Production
Today, Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) is produced solely by chemical synthesis.
However, fermentation and chemical synthesis might be combined to develop a new production route for sorbic acid.
In a first step, glucose would be converted to triacetic acid lactone by fermentation.
Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) has been shown that triacetic acid lactone can be produced by genetically modified E. coli and S. cerevisiae strains.
After a separation from the fermentation broth, triacetic acid lactone would be transformed into butyl sorbate in a multistage catalyst system (catalysis-hydrogenation and solid acid catalysis). Then, butyl sorbate would be purified and hydrolyzed to sorbic acid.
Different scenarios are analyzed to evaluate the economic feasibility of such a production process.

Toxicology
Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) and its salts have broad-spectrum activity against yeast and molds, but are less active against bacteria.
The antimicrobial action of Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) was discovered independently in the United States and Germany in 1939, and since the mid-1950s sorbates have been increasingly used as preservatives.
Sorbates generally have been found superior to benzoate for preservation of margarine, fish, cheese, bread, and cake.
Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) and its potassium salts are used in low concentrations to control mold and yeast growth in cheese products, some fish and meat products, fresh fruits, vegetables, fruit beverages, baked foods, pickles, and wines.
Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) is practically nontoxic.

Table 10.4 shows acute toxicity of sorbic acid and its potassium salt.
Animal studies have not shown obvious problems in tests performed with large doses for longer time periods.
When Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) (40 mg/kg/day) was injected directly into the stomach of male and female mice for 20 months, no differences were observed in survival rates, growth rates, or appetite between the injected mice and the control.
When the dose was increased to 80 mg/kg/day for three additional months, however, some growth inhibition was observed.
When potassium sorbate (1 and 2% in feed) was fed to dogs for three months, no pathological abnormalities were observed.
This evidence indicates that the subacute toxicity of sorbic acid is negligible.

As a relatively new food additive, sorbate has been subject to stringent toxicity-testing requirements.
Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) may well be the most intensively studied of all chemical food preservatives.
In 90-day feeding studies in rats and dogs and a lifetime feeding study in rats, a 5% dietary level of sorbates procured no observable adverse effects.
However, at a 10% dietary level in a 120- day feeding study, rats showed increased growth and increased liver weight.
Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) has been attributed to the caloric value of sorbate at these high dietary levels since it can act as a substrate for normal catabolic metabolism in mammals.
Sorbates are not mutagenic or tumorigenic, and as noted previously, no reproductive toxicity has been observed.

Reactivity Profile
Sorbic Acid (C6H8O2) may discolor on exposure to light.
Can react with oxidizing agents.
Also incompatible with bases and reducing agents.
The dust may become explosive, particularly when mixed with free-radical initiators or oxidizing agents.

Sorbic acid, also known as 2,4-hexadienoic acid, is a natural compound and a derivative of acrylic acid.
Sorbic acid (food preservative) is commonly used as a food preservative to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and some bacteria in various food products.
The chemical formula for Sorbic acid (food preservative) is C6H8O2.

Synthesis
Sorbitan Caprylate (Special) is produced by the dehydration of sorbitol and is an intermediate in the conversion of sorbitol to isosorbide.
The dehydration reaction usually produces Sorbitan Caprylate (Special) as a mixture of five- and six-membered cyclic ethers (1,4-anhydrosorbitol, 1,5-anhydrosorbitol and 1,4,3,6-dianhydrosorbitol) with the five-membered 1,4-anhydrosorbitol form being the dominant product.
The rate of formation of Sorbitan Caprylate (Special) is typically greater than that of isosorbide, which allows it to be produced selectively, providing the reaction conditions are carefully controlled.
The dehydration reaction has been shown to work even in the presence of excess water.

Sorbitol is used as a component in some laxative products to help relieve constipation.

Sorbitol has a mild laxative effect when ingested in certain quantities.
Sorbitol can be found in some dietary supplements, often in the form of chewable tablets or lozenges.
In various industrial processes, sorbitol is used as a raw material and chemical intermediate for the production of other compounds.

Sorbitol has applications in areas like the chemical and plastics industries.
Sorbitol can be used in certain medical formulations, such as oral solutions and enemas.

Sorbitol can help create isotonic solutions and facilitate drug delivery.
Sorbitol can be found in various applications, such as in the manufacturing of adhesives, as a carrier for flavors and fragrances, and in sugar-free syrups for beverages.

Safety Profile:
Sorbitol is widely used in a number of pharmaceutical products and occurs naturally in many edible fruits and berries.
Sorbitol is absorbed more slowly from the gastrointestinal tract than sucrose and is metabolized in the liver to fructose and glucose.
Sorbitols caloric value is approximately 16.7 J/g (4 cal/g).

Sorbitol is better tolerated by diabetics than sucrose and is widely used in many sugar-free liquid vehicles.
However, it is not considered to be unconditionally safe for diabetics.
Reports of adverse reactions to sorbitol are largely due to its action as an osmotic laxative when ingested orally,(17–19) which may be exploited therapeutically.

Ingestion of large quantities of sorbitol (>20 g/day in adults) should therefore be avoided.
Sorbitol is not readily fermented by oral microorganisms and has little effect on dental plaque pH; hence, it is generally considered to be noncariogenic.
Sorbitol is generally considered to be more irritating than mannitol.

Storage:
Sorbitol is chemically relatively inert and is compatible with most excipients.
Sorbitol is stable in air in the absence of catalysts and in cold, dilute acids and alkalis.
Sorbitol does not darken or decompose at elevated temperatures or in the presence of amines.

Sorbitol is nonflammable, noncorrosive, and nonvolatile.
Although sorbitol is resistant to fermentation by many microorganisms, a preservative should be added to sorbitol solutions.
Solutions may be stored in glass, plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel containers.

Solutions for injection may be sterilized by autoclaving.
The bulk material is hygroscopic and should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

SORBİTOL Sorbitol (/ˈsɔərbᵻˌtɒl/), less commonly known as glucitol (/ˈɡluːsᵻˌtɒl/), is a sugar alcohol with a sweet taste which the human body metabolizes slowly. It can be obtained by reduction of glucose, changing the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. Most sorbitol is made from corn syrup, but it is also found in apples, pears, peaches, and prunes. It is converted to fructose by sorbitol-6-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase. Sorbitol is an isomer of mannitol, another sugar alcohol; the two differ only in the orientation of the hydroxyl group on carbon 2. While similar, the two sugar alcohols have very different sources in nature, melting points, and uses. Sorbitol is a polyhydric alcohol with about half the sweetness of sucrose. Sorbitol occurs naturally and is also produced synthetically from glucose. It was formerly used as a diuretic and may still be used as a laxative and in irrigating solutions for some surgical procedures. It is also used in many manufacturing processes, as a pharmaceutical aid, and in several research applications. Ascorbic acid fermentation; in solution form for moisture-conditioning of cosmetic creams and lotions, toothpaste, tobacco, gelatin; bodying agent for paper, textiles, and liquid pharmaceuticals; softener for candy; sugar crystallization inhibitor; surfactants; urethane resins and rigid foams; plasticizer, stabilizer for vinyl resins; food additive (sweetener, humectant, emulsifier, thickener, anticaking agent); dietary supplement. (Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary) Biological Source: Occurs widely in plants ranging from algae to the higher orders. Fruits of the plant family Rosaceae, which include apples, pears, cherries, apricots, contain appreciable amounts. Rich sources are the fruits of the Sorbus and Crataegus species Use/Importance: Used for manufacturing of sorbose, propylene glycol, ascorbic acid, resins, plasticizers and as antifreeze mixtures with glycerol or glycol. Uses Sweetener Sorbitol is a sugar substitute. It may be listed under the inactive ingredients listed for some foods and products. Its INS number and E number is 420. Sorbitol has approximately 60% the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar). Sorbitol is referred to as a nutritive sweetener because it provides dietary energy: 2.6 kilocalories (11 kilojoules) per gram versus the average 4 kilocalories (17 kilojoules) for carbohydrates. It is often used in diet foods (including diet drinks and ice cream), mints, cough syrups, and sugar-free chewing gum. It also occurs naturally in many stone fruits and berries from trees of the genus Sorbus. Laxative Sorbitol can be Used as a laxative via an oral suspension or enema. As with other sugar alcohols, gastrointestinal distress may result when food products that contain sorbitol are consumed. Sorbitol exerts its laxative effect by drawing water into the large intestine, thereby stimulating bowel movements.Sorbitol has been determined safe for use by the elderly, although it is not recommended without consultation with a clinician. Sorbitol is found in some dried fruits and may contribute to the laxative effects of prunes.Sorbitol was discovered initially in the fresh juice of mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia) berries in 1872. It is found in the fruits of apples, plums, pears, cherries, dates, peaches, and apricots. Medical applications Sorbitol is used in bacterial culture media to distinguish the pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 from most other strains of E. coli, as it is usually incapable of fermenting sorbitol, but 93% of known E. coli strains are capable of doing so.[ A treatment using sorbitol and ion-exchange resin sodium polystyrene sulfonate (tradename Kayexalate), helps remove excess potassium ions when in a hyperkalaemic state.The resin exchanges sodium ions for potassium ions in the bowel, while sorbitol helps to eliminate it. In 2010 the U.S. FDA issued a warning of increased risk for GI necrosis with this combination. Sorbitol is also used in the manufacture of softgels to store single doses of liquid medicines. Health care, food, and cosmetic uses Sorbitol often is used in modern cosmetics as a humectant and thickener. Sorbitol often is used in mouthwash and toothpaste. Some transparent gels can be made only with sorbitol, as it has a refractive index sufficiently high for transparent formulations. Sorbitol is used as a cryoprotectant additive (mixed with sucrose and sodium polyphosphates) in the manufacture of surimi, a processed fish paste. It is also used as a humectant in some cigarettes. Sorbitol sometimes is used as a sweetener and humectant in cookies and other foods that are not identified as "dietary" items. Miscellaneous uses A mixture of sorbitol and potassium nitrate has found some success as an amateur solid rocket fuel. Sorbitol is identified as a potential key chemical intermediate for production of fuels from biomass resources. Carbohydrate fractions in biomass such as cellulose undergo sequential hydrolysis and hydrogenation in the presence of metal catalysts to produce sorbitol. Complete reduction of sorbitol opens the way to alkanes, such as hexane, which can be used as a biofuel. Hydrogen required for this reaction can be produced by aqueous phase reforming of sorbitol. 19 C6H14O6 → 13 C6H14 + 36 CO2 + 42 H2O The above chemical reaction is exothermic; 1.5 moles of sorbitol generate approximately 1 mole of hexane. When hydrogen is co-fed, no carbon dioxide is produced. Sorbitol based polyols are used in the production of polyurethane foam for the construction industry. It is also added after electroporation of yeasts in transformation protocols, allowing the cells to recover by raising the osmolarity of the medium. Industry Uses Fillers Processing aids Viscosity adjustors Consumer Uses Arts, Crafts, and Hobby Materials Cleaning and Furnishing Care Products Personal Care Products Highlights Sorbitol is a type of carbohydrate called a sugar alcohol, or polyol. Sorbitol contains about one-third fewer calories than sugar and is 60 percent as sweet. Sorbitol occurs naturally in a variety of berries and fruits (e.g., apples and blackberries). Sorbitol is also commercially produced and is the most commonly used polyol in the U.S. Sorbitol’s safety has been confirmed by global health authorities. Sorbitol, when eaten in excessive amounts, can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. THE BASICS OF SORBITOL Sorbitol (pronounced sore-bih-tall) is a type of carbohydrate called a sugar alcohol, or polyol, which are water-soluble compounds that occur naturally in many fruits and vegetables. Sorbitol is also commercially produced from glucose for use in packaged foods and beverages to provide sweetness, texture and moisture retention. Sorbitol’s safety has been reviewed and confirmed by health authorities around the world, including the World Health Organization, the European Union, and the countries Australia, Canada and Japan. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also recognizes sorbitol as safe. While the safety of sorbitol and other sugar alcohols is well-documented, some sugar alcohols, when eaten in excessive amounts, can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including gas, bloating and diarrhea. As a result, foods that contain the sugar alcohols sorbitol or mannitol must include a warning on their label about potential laxative effects. SORBITOL AND HEALTH Like most sugar alcohols, sorbitol is neither as sweet as nor as calorie-dense as sugar. Sorbitol is about 60 percent as sweet as sugar and has about 35 percent fewer calories per gram (2.6 calories for sorbitol compared to 4 calories for sugar). But sorbitol’s contributions to health go beyond calories. Studies on sorbitol metabolism date back as far as the 1920s, when researchers began testing sorbitol as a potential carbohydrate substitute in people with diabetes. Since that time, the benefits of sugar alcohols and how the body uses them have become better understood. Two areas where sugar alcohols are known for their positive effects are oral health and impact on blood sugar. Oral Health Sugar alcohols, including sorbitol, have been shown to benefit oral health in several ways, primarily because they are noncariogenic: in other words, they don’t contribute to cavity formation. The act of chewing also protects teeth from cavity-causing bacteria by promoting the flow of saliva. The increased saliva and noncariogenic properties (along with sweetness) are why sugar alcohols (sorbitol and xylitol) are used in sugar-free chewing gum. Some sugar alcohols like erythritol and xylitol inhibit the growth of oral bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) that can cause cavities. Sorbitol can be fermented, albeit at a slower rate than sugar, by some but not all oral bacteria. Therefore, sorbitol is not as protective against cavities as some sugar alcohols, but has been shown to decrease cavities compared with sugar. Because of these attributes, the FDA recognizes sorbitol and other sugar alcohols as beneficial to oral health. Blood sugar Like other sugar alcohols (with the exception of erythritol), sorbitol contains calories in the form of carbohydrate. Sorbitol is slowly and incompletely absorbed from our small intestine. The remaining sorbitol continues to the large intestine, where its metabolism yields fewer calories. Because of this, sorbitol consumption (compared with an equal amount of sugar) reduces insulin secretion, which helps keep blood glucose levels lower as a result. RECOMMENDED INTAKES There are no formal recommendations for sorbitol intake. Fermentation of sorbitol in the large intestine can create gastrointestinal discomfort including bloating, gas and diarrhea. But these effects are not the same for everyone. Therefore, the FDA requires a label statement regarding potential laxative effects for foods that might lead to eating 50 grams of sorbitol in a day. For those following a low Fermentable Oligosaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides And Polyols (FODMAP) diet, food sources of sorbitol are monitored because sorbitol is a type of polyol. FOOD SOURCES OF SORBITOL Sugar alcohols are naturally produced in various plants as a result of photosynthesis. Sorbitol is found naturally in berries like blackberries, raspberries and strawberries, and other fruits such as apples, apricots, avocados, cherries, peaches and plums. In addition to whole foods, sorbitol is commercially produced to help reduce calories from sugars in baked goods, chocolates, frozen desserts, hard candies, sugar-free chewing gum and snack bars. What is sorbitol? Sorbitol, also called D-sorbitol, 50-70-4, E420, and D-glucitol, is a type of carbohydrate. It falls into a category of sugar alcohols called polyols. This water-soluble compound is found naturally in some fruits, including apples, apricots, dates, berries, peaches, plums, and figs (1Trusted Source). It’s also commercially manufactured from corn syrup for use in packaged foods, beverages, and medications. Commercially, sorbitol is used to preserve moisture, add sweetness, and provide texture to products, as well as potentially support digestive and oral health. Benefits and uses Sorbitol is a widely used sugar alcohol for several reasons. First, sugar alcohols are often used in foods and beverages in place of traditional sugar to reduce their calorie content. Sorbitol contains approximately two-thirds of the calories of table sugar and provides about 60% of the sweetness (2). It’s also not fully digested in your small intestine. What remains of the compound from there moves into the large intestine where it’s instead fermented, or broken down by bacteria, resulting in fewer calories being absorbed (3Trusted Source). Second, the sweetener is often added to foods marketed to people with diabetes. That’s because it has very little effect on blood sugar levels when eaten, compared with foods made with traditional sweeteners like table sugar. Third, unlike table sugar, sugar alcohols like sorbitol don’t contribute to the formation of cavities. This is one reason why they’re often used to sweeten sugar-free chewing gum and liquid medications (1Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source). In fact, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recognized that sugar alcohols like sorbitol may benefit oral health. This is based on a study that found that sorbitol may reduce cavity risk compared with table sugar, although not to the same extent as other sugar alcohols (5Trusted Source, 6). Lastly, it’s used on its own as a laxative to combat constipation. It’s hyperosmotic, meaning it draws water into the colon from surrounding tissues to promote bowel movements. It can be purchased for this purpose at most grocery and drug stores without a prescription. Side effects and precautions Consuming sorbitol or other sugar alcohols in large amounts can cause bloating and diarrhea in some people, especially if you’re not used to regularly consuming them. This can be an unwelcome result for some, but the desired effect for those using it to promote bowel activity. Fortunately, other side effects from sorbitol appear to be uncommon. The most frequently reported complaint is diarrhea, though it may be accompanied by abdominal cramping or nausea (7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source). Still, while some laxatives can be habit-forming and shouldn’t be used for prolonged periods, sorbitol is considered a less risky, non-stimulative laxative. That said, given that it works by drawing fluid into your intestines to promote bowel activity, it should only be used as directed (9Trusted Source). Despite its potential side effects, sorbitol has been reviewed and recognized as safe to consume by many global health authorities, including the FDA, Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA)Trusted Source, and European Union (2, 10Trusted Source). Dosage and how to take it Sorbitol for laxative use can be found both as a rectal enema or liquid solution to be taken orally. You can take it orally with a glass of water or mixed into flavored beverages, with or without food. Recommended dosages vary. Some studies indicate that unwanted side effects are more likely if you consume 10 grams or more per day. Additionally, one study found that malabsorption was more likely with doses of 10 grams — even among healthy individuals (1Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source). The FDA requires that labels on foods that could cause you to consume more than 50 grams daily include the warning: “Excess consumption may have a laxative effect” (12). That’s because taking too much sorbitol can cause severe digestive side effects and electrolyte imbalances, although there’s no evidence that the compound can cause toxicity (7Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source). If you think you’ve taken too much sorbitol and are experiencing significant symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Be prepared to provide information about the dosage and your symptoms, including the timing of their onset. Ultimately, it’s best to follow consumer directions on the packaging. Alternatively, consult your healthcare provider if you have questions about appropriate dosing and usage. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol found in fruits and plants with diuretic, laxative and cathartic property. Unabsorbed sorbitol retains water in the large intestine through osmotic pressure thereby stimulating peristalsis of the intestine and exerting its diuretic, laxative and cathartic effect. In addition, sorbitol has one-third fewer calories and 60 % the sweetening activity of sucrose and is used as a sugar replacement in diabetes. NCI Thesaurus (NCIt) Sorbitol is an odorless colorless solid. Sinks and mixes with water. (USCG, 1999) CAMEO Chemicals D-glucitol is the D-enantiomer of glucitol (also known as D-sorbitol).

Utilisation: Additif alimentaire, fabrication de produits alimentaires. Le sorbitol est un polyol naturel. Il est aussi utilisé comme séquestrant, excipient, humectant ou stabilisant dans les cosmétiques et les aliments. Le sorbitol ou glucitol est un polyol naturel, au pouvoir sucrant deux fois plus faible que le saccharose. À la différence des oses, sa structure ne renferme aucune fonction cétone ou aldéhyde. Il est principalement utilisé comme édulcorant de masse pour remplacer le saccharose. Il est aussi utilisé comme séquestrant, excipient, humectant ou stabilisant, dans les médicaments, les cosmétiques et les aliments. Il est métabolisé lentement par l'organisme et apporte peu de calories. C'est aussi un laxatif lorsqu'il est consommé à haute dose.Le sorbitol tient son nom du sorbier dont les baies contiennent beaucoup de sorbitol. Mais le fruit à plus haute teneur en sorbitol est en fait le pruneau. Le sorbitol est le produit majeur de la photosynthèse, le principal glucide exporté dans le phloème et un produit pour le stockage temporaire du carbone chez les espèces ligneuses de la famille Rosaceae. Chez les espèces dites à sorbitol, la synthèse de celui-ci est en compétition avec celle du saccharose car ces deux sucres ont un précurseur commun, le glucose-6-phosphate. Les mécanismes qui contrôlent et régulent la partition du C entre ces deux voies sont inconnus. Néanmoins, les effets de l'environnement et les conditions de culture peuvent jouer un rôle important pour modifier les flux métaboliques entre le sorbitol, le saccharose et l'amidon. L'accumulation de sorbitol est considérée comme une réponse adaptative des plantes aux contraintes saline, hydrique et de basse température. La synthèse du sorbitol est confinée aux organes sources. Le sorbitol est un polyol comme le glycérol ou le glycol. Il est composé d'une chaîne carbonée de six atomes de carbone et six groupes alcool (un groupe par carbone). Sa formule chimique est C6H14O6 et il est l'isomère de trois autres polyols : dulcitol, mannitol et iditol.En industrie agroalimentaire, cet édulcorant présente de nombreux avantages. Chez l'Homme, le sorbitol est métabolisé de la même façon que le glucose : il apporte la même énergie. Toutefois, son métabolisme étant non insulinodépendant, il n'augmente pas la glycémie. Cette propriété est particulièrement intéressante pour les produits destinés aux diabétiques. Il est non fermentescible par les levures. Possédant une grande capacité de rétention d'eau, le sorbitol est responsable de la consistance moelleuse d'un grand nombre de produits alimentaires. L'eau fixée s'évapore difficilement. Le sorbitol est également utilisé en tant qu'agent de retard de la cristallisation du saccharose dans les produits chocolatés.

-Uses of Soybean Lecithin:
Supplement use should be individualized and vetted by a healthcare professional, such as a registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN), pharmacist, or healthcare provider.
No supplement is intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease.
Soybean Lecithin is not a single substance.
Soybean Lecithin's a group of chemicals, including phospholipids (fat plus phosphate).

BENEFITS OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin goes above and beyond an emulsifying agent by carrying health benefits.
It can help to:
*Prevent arteriosclerosis,
*protects against cardiovascular disease,
*improve brain function and prevent memory loss,
*keep the liver and kidneys healthy,
*aid in thiamine and vitamin A absorption,
*repair liver damage caused by alcoholism
*keep cells protected against oxidation (Soybean Lecithin act as antioxidant),
*aids in the breakdown of fats, transportation of fats,
*facilitate cellular communication
*control the flow of nutrients in and out of our cells
*reduce LDL cholesterol level, improve HDL cholesterol
*prevent gallstones
*Healing agent

FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is a multi-functional surface-active agent.
Each molecule has, like Janus, two faces.

The fatty-acid portion of the molecule is attracted to fats (it is lipotrophic) and the phosphoric acid?? portion is attracted to water (it is hydrotrophic).
Because of this dual nature, Soybean Lecithin molecules tend to position themselves at the boundary between immiscible materials, such as oil and water.
There they serve many useful functions through a surface modifying effect.

According to Szuhaj Soybean Lecithin serves the following major functions:
(1) Emulsifying allows the mixing of otherwise immiscible substances, especially in water-in-oil systems, such as margarine and chocolate. This is the most widespread of its various uses;
(2) Solubilization makes it possible to dissolve oils (such as flavor oils and oil-soluble colors) in water;
(3) Suspension , for example, keeps pigments dispersed in paints, preventing agglomeration;
(4) Wetting/instantizing helps powers to dissolve quickly in water;
(5) Lubrication and Release ; when Soybean Lecithin is applied in a thin film to a cooking utensil or a mold, it promotes release of food or other materials from that surface;
(6) Crystallization Control is used especially to control the crystallization of sugar in fat systems, as in chocolate;
(7) Complexing tends to retard crystallization of starch associated with staling in baked goods;
(8) Anti-spatter , as in margarine;
(9) Viscosity Modifying ; and
(10) Therapeutical: Soybean Lecithin also serves as a stabilizer in ice creams and shortenings and an antioxidant in oils and fats.

FUNCTIONS AND APPLICATIONS OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
1.In Food Industries:
Soybean Lecithin is used as Natural Emulsifier, Wetting agent, Dispersing agent, Stabilizing agent, Viscosity Reducing agent, Antispattering agent, Mixing & Blending agent, Release agent, Conditioning, Lipotropic,Surface Active Agent and as an Emillient and Antioxidant as well. "

2.In Cosmetics Industries:
Soybean Lecithin adds to Suppleness, Penetration, Lather Stability, Better Distribution, Skin Protection and care.
Soybean Lecithin is a good antioxidant since its chelating ability enables it to combat complex heavy metals.
Soybean Lecithin increases respiration capacity of the skin.
Usage level of Soybean Lecithin is 0.5% to 2.0%

3.In Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Industries：
Soybean Lecithin is natural dietary source of Essential Phospholipids-the valuable nutrients viz Phosphatidyl choline, Phosphatidyl inositol & Phosphatidyl serine.
These phospholipids are the building blocks of life and are vital for healthy function of every cell membrane in the body.
Soybean Lecithin is a Soybean Lecithin (a structural term for a triglyceride with one fatty acid replaced by phosphatic acid conjugates) which delivers a high level of phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and phosphatidylinositol (PI).

NUTRITION FACTS OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Oftentimes extracted from soybean oil, one ounce (28 grams) of soybean Soybean Lecithin has the following nutritional content:
*214 calories
*28 grams fat
*1,438 milligrams omega-3 fatty acids
*11,250 milligrams omega-6 fatty acids
*51.5 micrograms vitamin K (64 percent DV)
*2.3 milligrams vitamin E (11 percent DV)
*98 milligrams choline

NUTRITION OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is used in cooking as an emulsifier; it helps stabilize ingredients that aren't easily mixed, like oil and water.
Two level tablespoons (15 g) of Soybean Lecithin granules contained approximately the following nutrients:
*Calories: 80
*Fat: 8 g
*Choline, from phosphatidylcholine: 3,260 mg
*Phosphorous: 230 mg (23% Daily Value, DV)

One tablespoon (13.6 g) of soybean Soybean Lecithin oil contains the following:
*Calories: 104
*Fat: 13.6 g
*Choline, from phosphatidylcholine: 47.6 mg
*Phosphorous: 0 mg
*Potassium: 0 mg
*Vitamin K: 25 micrograms (mcg) (20 to 28% DV)76
Growing conditions can affect the amounts of a plant-derived product's fatty acids and phospholipids.

IT IS LIKELY THAT YOU ARE ALREADY CONSUMING SOYBEAN LECITHIN OR USING PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN IT AS AN INGREDIENT:
It’s often found in protein powders and many other products, including:
*dairy products
*bread
*infant formulas
*margarine
*skincare products
*dietary supplements
*ice cream—who doesn’t love a scoop or two of ice cream?!

SOYBEAN LECITHIN, WE KNOW THAT OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX, RIGHT?
When the two are placed into a solution and shaken together, Soybean Lecithin droplets initially spread out and appear to evenly disperse, but once the shaking stops, the oil separates from the water again.
This is exactly why Soybean Lecithin is so important and often used as an additive in processed foods, medicine and supplements.

When Soybean Lecithin enters the equation, oil is broken down into smaller particles in a process called emulsification, making the oil droplets easier to clean or digest when eaten.
Thus, Soybean Lecithin helps give products a smooth, uniform appearance.
Additionally, its ability to emulsify fats makes Soybean Lecithin an ideal ingredient for nonstick cooking sprays and soaps.

BENEFITS OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
*Heart health improvement:
Soybean Lecithin can help improve cardiovascular health.
This is especially true if you're at high risk of heart disease or high blood pressure, according to studies of Soybean Lecithin additives.
But is harder to digest because Soybean Lecithin takes the body longer to break down.
This helps some people to feel fuller after taking Soybean Lecithin.

*Helps new moms with breastfeeding:
Many breastfeeding experts tell moms to take Soybean Lecithin to help with clogged milk ducts.
The Canadian Breastfeeding Foundation suggests taking 1,200 milligrams four times a day to see results.
The working theory is that Soybean Lecithin decreases breast milk viscosity, which in return lessens its tendency to clog your breast milk ducts.

Though this can help, Soybean Lecithin's not a treatment.
Other recommendations of Soybean Lecithin include massage, extra pumping, application of warm compresses, draining the breast well, or seeing a lactation consultant for more suggestions.

*Could help fight dementia symptoms:
One of the chemicals the brain uses to communicate is choline.
Soybean Lecithin contains choline.
Some research shows that diets with high levels of choline help with memory retention and diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Foods with choline can help functional pathways.
Evidence at this time is lacking and conflicting, but it's possible that Soybean Lecithin can help people with nervous system conditions, and more research is needed.

*Can help with choline deficiency:
Soybean Lecithin has choline in the form of phosphatidylcholine.
It's an essential nutrient.

Choline is part of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter.
It's found in a lot of foods.
Increasing Soybean Lecithin in your diet could help with a choline deficiency.

*Skin moisturizing and soothing:
Some skin care products contain Soybean Lecithin.
It's commonly used as an emollient.
Emollients hydrate the skin and help make it smooth.

Hydrogenated Soybean Lecithin is the form used in most skin care products.
Some people use it alone for the treatment of acne and eczema.
There's not much evidence supporting it, but hypothetically, Soybean Lecithin capsules could improve the skin.
It can stimulate and tone other parts of the body as well.

*Improvement in digestive health:
Soybean Lecithin has emulsifying qualities that help with a reaction process to increase mucus in the intestine.
This makes digestion easier and also protects the lining of your stomach and intestines.
Soybean Lecithin's been found to improve symptoms in people with ulcerative colitis.

Even for those who don’t have colitis, Soybean Lecithin can help with irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions that affect digestion.
Soybean Lecithin accounts for over 70% of all phospholipids in the mucous layer of the intestine and maintains a hydrophobic barrier, stopping invasions of bad bacteria.

*Decrease in bad cholesterol:
Using Soybean Lecithin is popular and proven method of lowering cholesterol.
Studies show that Soybean Lecithin can help raise good cholesterol, or HDL.
Soybean Lecithin can also help to lower bad cholesterol, or LDL.
Soybean Lecithin protein is effective at treating cholesterol issues because of the numerous benefits of soy.

TYPES OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin can also come in the form of supplements.
These come from eggs, sunflower seeds, or soybeans.
Sometimes fish, animal fat, and corn are used.

But is the most common ingredient used to make Soybean Lecithin supplements.
Though soybeans may be genetically modified (GMO) in large-scale production, sunflower seeds are not.
The extraction process for sunflower Soybean Lecithin is more gentle.
Harsh chemicals are not required to extract Soybean Lecithin from the sunflower seed.

Though soybean Soybean Lecithin usually comes in a granulated capsule, other types, like sunflower Soybean Lecithin, come in liquid and powder forms.
Though it's not as common, many people prefer sunflower Soybean Lecithin because they're trying to avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in their food.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND SOYBEAN LECITHIN NATURALLY?
Though Soybean Lecithin is available in liquid, granules, and capsules, it can also be found naturally in some foods.
These include:
*Peanuts
*Soybeans
*Liver
*Wheat germ
*Egg yolks

SOYBEAN LECITHIN BENEFITS:
So what are some of the benefits of having soy Soybean Lecithin in your products or taking a soy Soybean Lecithin supplement?
*Can help lower cholesterol
One of the most commonly known benefits of soy Soybean Lecithin is that it can help to lower cholesterol.
Soybean Lecithin can increase the good cholesterol and lower the bad cholesterol that’s found in the body and enhance the body’s ability to break down fats.

*Improves heart health:
For those at risk of heart disease or high blood pressure, products with soy Soybean Lecithin have been found to improve cardiovascular health.
Because of Soybean Lecithin's ability to lower bad cholesterol, this means less fat build-up in the arteries and therefore a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

*Assists with digestion :
Being that soy Soybean Lecithin is an emulsifier, it helps improve the mucus in your intestine, making digestion easier, whilst also protecting the digestive system.
Soybean Lecithin can assist people who suffer from IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) and ulcerative colitis.

*Can help mothers who are breastfeeding:
It has been recommended by some breastfeeding experts that Soybean Lecithin can help prevent the blocking of breast ducts which can cause infections such as mastitis.
This can be quite painful for breastfeeding mothers, as the milk thickens and gets clogged.
By incorporating a small amount of soy Soybean Lecithin into your daily diet, it can help to thin out the breast milk, making the chances of infection less likely.

*Can improve overall brain health and function:
Soybean Lecithin contains a chemical called choline which helps to boost overall brain function and increase mental alertness.
There is also continued research being done to determine if Soybean Lecithin can help treat individuals with neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s, or other illnesses that affect the nervous system.

*Provides skincare benefits:
When found in skincare products, soy Soybean Lecithin can help to soothe and moisturise the skin.
Soybean Lecithin is often used as an emollient in skincare, which promotes hydration and increases moisture levels in the skin.

PROPERTIES OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is used in cosmetic products as a herbal emulsifier.
Soybean Lecithin has emollient properties and gives very moisturizing creams suitable for dry skin.
Soybean Lecithin is suitable for damaged and soft skin and penetrates deep into the skin.
Soybean Lecithin is used in creams, shampoos, conditioners and many other products.

VARIETIES OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN AND THEIR COMPOSITION:
All varieties of soy Soybean Lecithin can be classified into three broad types: unrefined or natural (including bleached varieties), refined, and chemically modified.
Unrefined or natural Soybean Lecithin comes in six basic varieties, long defined by specifications of the National Soybean

PROCESSORS ASSOCIATION OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Plastic or fluid, each either unbleached, bleached, or double bleached.
(Because fluid Soybean Lecithins are easier to handle and dissolve more rapidly in various solvents, only small amounts of plastic grades are now produced.)
Refined Soybean Lecithin (which has had the oil removed using acetone) comes in three basic varieties: custom blended natural, oil free phosphatides (as is or custom blended), and alcohol-fractionated oil-free phosphatides (as is or custom blended).

These latter special refined grades, which may contain 60-99.7% phosphatidyl choline, are used mostly for pharmaceutical applications and research.
Chemically modified Soybean Lecithin products, altered through selective chemical treatment, improve Soybean Lecithin's compatibility to certain systems.
Szuhaj (1983), using another method of classification, has noted that in addition to the six basic types of natural or unrefined Soybean Lecithin, there are six types of upgraded Soybean Lecithin products, including clarified Soybean Lecithins (filtered), fluidized Soybean Lecithins, compounded Soybean Lecithins, hydroxylated Soybean Lecithin, deoiled Soybean Lecithin (granular), and fractionated Soybean Lecithin.

Recent composition figures for both unrefined (natural) and refined (deoiled) Soybean Lecithin.
Interestingly, earlier publications showed these two products to contain significantly higher percentages of the three major phosphatides and no glycolipids.
Soybean Lecithin is also available as a dietary supplement in two forms: as granular Soybean Lecithin (oil-free refined Soybean Lecithin with calcium phosphate as a flow agent) and as capsules, containing a dispersion in oil.

WHAT IS SOYBEAN LECITHIN?
Soybean Lecithin is a type of fat found in foods like the following:
*Soybeans
*Sunflower seeds
*Canola seeds
*Egg yolks
*Other animal products like fish

Soybean Lecithin is considered safe at recommended doses for short-term use.
Soybean Lecithin is also sometimes added to the following products:
*Skincare products
*Supplements
*Medications
*Placebos (a treatment with no therapeutic value as part of a control group) in randomized controlled trials

Soybean Lecithin contains phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine.
Phospholipids are a type of fat combined with phosphate.
Your body converts phosphatidylcholine into choline.
Choline supports cell structure in the following areas of your body:
*Brain
*Nerves
*Cell membranes
Soybean Lecithin has been studied to treat various conditions, including but not limited to the following:
*Cognitive impairment
*High cholesterol
*Menopause symptoms

WORLD PRODUCTION OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
The major countries refining soy oil (USA, Western Europe, Japan) are also the major producers of soy Soybean Lecithin.
Stanley estimated that in the year 1936-37 the world produced 1,787,000 tonnes (metric tons) of soy oil.
From this it recovered 1,814 tonnes of Soybean Lecithin and left 47,174 tonnes unrecovered, thereby utilizing only about 4% of potential production.

The main producers were the USA, Germany, Japan, Denmark, and Norway.
In 1948 world soy Soybean Lecithin recovery was estimated at 4,535 tonnes, and plant derived Soybean Lecithin other than soy was estimated at one-fifth this amount.

Recovery and utilization of soy Soybean Lecithin was thought to be less than 10% of potential production.
In 1976 Van Nieuwenhuyzen estimated world recovery of soy Soybean Lecithin to be 90,700 tonnes a year, from 8.8 million tonnes of soy oil produced containing 233,200 tonnes of soy Soybean Lecithin.
Thus roughly 39% of the total Soybean Lecithin was recovered and used.

Clearly the percentage used has been increasing, but the majority that could be recovered is not yet used directly.
The unsold portion is mixed back into defatted soybean meal, which is used for livestock fodder.
Although this practice is not widely discussed by the industry, the Soybean Lecithin is not considered a negative nor a positive factor.

NATURAL SOURCES OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
The most concentrated natural and unrefined sources of Soybean Lecithin are soybeans (1.48 to 3.08% Soybean Lecithin), peanuts (1.11%), calf liver (0.85%), wheat (0.61%), oatmeal (0.65%), and eggs (0.39%) (Wood and Allison 1981).
The human spinal cord contains 6-10% Soybean Lecithin and the human brain 4-6% Soybean Lecithin in fresh substance.

Among refined substances, especially concentrated sources of Soybean Lecithin include dehydrated (powdered) egg yolk (14-20%), natural egg yolk (7-10%), wheat germ 2.82%, soy oil (1.8% but 2.65% including the 30-35% entrained soy oil??), and butterfat (1.4%).
Soy oil has the highest Soybean Lecithin and phosphatide content of any known oil; other vegetable oils average 0.5% Soybean Lecithin.

Unlike animal phosphatides, soybean phosphatides contain no cholesterol.
In plant seeds the phosphatides are largely associated with oil, but strangely their content varies roughly with the protein rather than the oil content.
Moreover, all of the above indicates that phosphatides and Soybean Lecithin appear to be closely connected with the most important vital and reproductive organs and processes.

In addition to the spinal cord, brain, eggs, and seeds, they are also concentrated in the nerves, liver, kidneys, and sperm.
Actually, Soybean Lecithin is found in the cell membranes of all human cells, and they tend to be most concentrated where membrane functions are specialized.
Soybean Lecithin compounds are also closely associated with fatty acids in the body.

PROCESSING OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is a combination of naturally-occurring phospholipids, which are extracted during the processing of soybean oil.
The soybeans are tempered by keeping them at a consistent temperature and moisture level for approximately seven to 10 days. This process hydrates the soybeans and loosens the hull.
The soybeans are then cleaned and cracked into small pieces and the hulls are separated from the cracked beans.

Next, the soybean pieces are heated and pressed into flakes.
Soybean oil is extracted from the flakes through a distillation process and Soybean Lecithin is separated from the oil by the addition of water and centrifugation or steam precipitation1.

FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is utilized in a wide variety of food and industrial applications.
The French scientist, Maurice Gobley, first discovered the substance in 1850, and named it "lekithos," the Greek term for egg yolk.
At the time, eggs provided a primary source of commercially-produced Soybean Lecithin.

Today, the majority of Soybean Lecithin used in food applications is derived from soybeans.
Soybean Lecithin offers a multifunctional, flexible and versatile tool.
Soybean Lecithin is probably best known for its emulsifying properties, which help promote solidity in margarine and give consistent texture to dressings and other creamy products.

Soybean Lecithin is also used in chocolates and coatings and to counteract spattering during frying.
Additionally, its unique lipid molecular structure makes Soybean Lecithin useful for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications and various industrial uses such as paints, textiles, lubricants and waxes.

HOW IS SOYBEAN LECITHIN MADE AND WHAT IS SOYBEAN LECITHIN MADE OF?
Soybean Lecithin is derived from raw soybeans, where the soybean oil is extracted using a chemical solvent.
The soy oil then goes through a process where it is mixed thoroughly with water until the Soybean Lecithin ingredient becomes hydrated, separating from the oil, and it’s then dried.

Whilst some people are concerned that during the production of Soybean Lecithin harmful chemicals are used which can remain in the end product, it’s important to remember that when soy Soybean Lecithin is present in our foods and products, it is usually in very minimal amounts—usually no more than 1% of processed foods.

HEALTH BENEFITS & CLAIMS OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin provides an excellent source of choline, which is essential to every living cell in the body and is one of the main components of cell membranes.
Not only is dietary choline important for the synthesis of the phospholipids in cell membranes, Soybean Lecithin is also necessary for methyl metabolism, cholinergic neurotransmission, transmembrane signaling, and lipid-cholesterol transport and metabolism.

Without choline, the cell membranes would harden, prohibiting important nutrients from entering and leaving the cell.
Scientists believe Soybean Lecithin and choline may aid in memory and cognitive function, cardiovascular health, liver function, reproduction and fetal development and physical and athletic performance.

In 1998, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences identified choline as an essential nutrient and recommended daily intake amounts.

And, in 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a nutrient content claim for choline, enabling food manufacturers to inform their consumers via the food label.
Foods that contain over 110 mg of choline per serving may claim that they are an “excellent source of choline” and those with over 55 mg may claim that they offer a “good source of choline.”

MANUFACTURING OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is used so commonly in our food supply because it acts as an emulsifier.
An emulsifier is used to make oil and water mix when they otherwise would not, and Soybean Lecithin helps stabilize and keep the ingredients from separating later.
Soybean Lecithin also prevents food from becoming sticky.

LET'S BEGIN WITH HOW SOYBEAN LECITHIN IS MADE:
Using a chemical solvent, manufacturers take soybean oil from raw soybeans.
This soy oil is then mixed with water until the Soybean Lecithin portion of the oil separates.
This Soybean Lecithin portion is dried, and sometimes even undergoes a final processing step of being bleached with hydrogen peroxide.
The exact composition of soy Soybean Lecithin varies slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, but Soybean Lecithin itself is made up of soybean oil and phosphatidylcholine, a type of phospholipid (or fat).

OTHER SOURCES OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is the general name for fatty compounds extracted from animal or plant sources.
Soy is just one of the sources of Soybean Lecithin.
Back then, Soybean Lecithin was the go-to option.
Today, Soybean Lecithin is isolated from soybeans, cottonseed, rapeseed, and sunflower.
Although it’s usually used as a liquid, Soybean Lecithin powder and Soybean Lecithin granules are now available for purchase.

YOU WILL FIND SOYBEAN LECITHIN IN HUNDREDS OF PRODUCTS ON THE SHELVES OF GROCERY STORES TODAY:
Soy Soybean Lecithin is an ingredient used in processed foods such as:
*cereal
*pasta
*breads
*soy and milk alternatives
*meats
*tea
*salad dressings
*sauces
*dips
Soybean Lecithin is also commonly found in health supplements, too.
Soybean Lecithin’s known to boost immunity and aid in easing menopausal symptoms.

ETYMOLOGY AND NOMENCLATURE OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
The word "Soybean Lecithin" is derived from the Greek term lekithos meaning "egg yolk."
In 1846 Gobley isolated Soybean Lecithin from egg yolk and in 1850 gave it its present name.
In the late 1800s it was also spelled "Soybean Lecithine" in English, a spelling that is still used (conveniently) in German to refer to the pure or chemical Soybean Lecithin.

In present-day English, the term "Soybean Lecithin" has two different meanings, which can be confusing.
To most food processors and chemists it refers to the natural complex mixture of phosphatides, but to most regular chemists, biochemists, and pharmacists Soybean Lecithin is a trivial term for the chemically pure phosphatide, phosphatidyl choline.

MANUFACTURE OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is obtained in the process of degumming crude soy oil, usually at the refinery of the company making commercial Soybean Lecithin rather than at the oil mill.
Crude soy oil contains an average of 1.8% hydratable compounds, primarily Soybean Lecithin phosphatides.

Roughly 1% of live steam or warm water is added to the crude soy oil at about 70*C, in a batch or continuous process.
The emulsion is then agitated or stirred for 10-60 minutes as the phosphatides hydrate and agglomerate, forming a heavy oil-insoluble sludge, which is separated from the oil by use of a centrifuge.

The sludge coming from the degumming centrifuge, a Soybean Lecithin and water emulsion containing 25-50% water, may then be bleached once or twice, typically with hydrogen peroxide, to reduce its color from brown or beige to light yellow.
Fluidizing additives such as soy oil, fatty acids, or calcium chloride can then be added to reduce the viscosity to that of honey and prevent the end product, on cooling, from being a highly plastic solid.

Finally the product is film or batch dried to reduce the moisture to about 1%.
Whether bleached or not, the finished commercial product is called "unrefined Soybean Lecithin" or "natural Soybean Lecithin;" it contains 65-70% phosphatides and 30-35% crude soy oil.

The oil in unrefined Soybean Lecithin can be removed by extraction with acetone (phosphatides are insoluble in acetone) to give a dry granular product called "refined Soybean Lecithin."

GRANULES OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin, as an emulsifier, enables fat and water in a food to not separate.
Soybean Lecithin is particularly commonly found in margarine, mayonnaise, cakes, cookies, puff pastries, instant powder for milk and cocoa drinks, chocolate products and infant formula.

DIGESTION OF SOYBEAN LECITHIN:
Soybean Lecithin is believed to stimulate mucus production in the intestine.
Soybean Lecithin may aid digestion and help protect the lining of your gastrointestinal system.
Soybean Lecithin is sometimes suggested for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
However, some limited research suggests that soy Soybean Lecithin may increase the abundance of undesirable gut bacteria.
Larger, more well-designed studies are needed before Soybean Lecithin can be recommended for digestion and IBS.

SOURCES OF LECITHIN:
Sources of lecithin
Lecithin is widely found in varieties of foods, such as egg yolks, soy, vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, chickpeas, and green beans), brewer’s yeast, grains, legumes, fish, rapeseed, sunflower, and wheat germ.

SOYBEAN OIL Abstract Soybean oil (ESO) is the oxidation product of soybean oil with hydrogen peroxide and either acetic or formic acid obtained by converting the double bonds into epoxy groups, which is non-toxic and of higher chemical reactivity. ESO is mainly used as a green plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride, while the reactive epoxy groups imply its great potential in both the monomer synthesis and the polymer preparation fields. Functional polymers are obtained by different kinds of reactions of the ESO with co-monomers and/or initiators shown in this chapter. The emphasis is on ESO based epoxy cross-linked polymers which recently gained strong interest and allowed new developments especially from both an academic point of view and an industrial point of view. It is believed that new ring-opening reagents may facilitate the synthesis of good structural ESO based materials.

Infobox references Soybean oil (ESBO) is a collection of organic compounds obtained from the epoxidation of soybean oil.

ESBO is manufactured from soybean oil through the process of epoxidation. Polyunsaturated vegetable oils are widely used as precursors to epoxidized oil products because they have high numbers of carbon-carbon double bonds available for epoxidation.[3] The epoxide group is more reactive than double bond, thus providing a more energetically favorable site for reaction and making the oil a good hydrochloric acid scavenger and plasticizer. Usually a peroxide or a peracid is used to add an atom of oxygen and convert the -C=C- bond to an epoxide group.[2] Uses Food products that are stored in glass jars are usually sealed with gaskets made from PVC. ESBO is one of the additives in the PVC gasket. It serves as a plasticizer and a scavenger for hydrochloric acid released when the PVC degrades thermally, e.g. when the gasket is applied to the lid and food product undergoes sterilization.[4] ESBO is also used in PVC cling films for wrapping foods and toys. Safety Food A Swiss survey in June 2005 showed that (among many other plasticizers exceeding the legal limits) migration of ESBO into foods reached up to 1,170 mg/kg.[5] Rapid Alert System in Food and Feed (RASFF) had also reported cases of food product rejection in EU for exceeding SML under EU Legislation (EC/2002/72).[6] Enforcement authorities took measures to force producers respecting the legal limits. Legislation In Europe, plastics in food contact are regulated by Regulation (EU) 10/2011. It establishes a specific migration limit (SML) for ESBO of 60 mg/kg. However, in the case of PVC gaskets used to seal glass jars containing infant formulae and follow-on formulae as defined by Directive 2006/141/EC or processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children as defined by Directive 2006/125/EC, the SML is lowered to 30 mg/kg. This is because babies have higher food consumption per body weight. Toxicity The tolerable daily intake (TDI) of ESBO defined by the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) of the EU is 1 mg/kg body weight. This value is based on a toxicological assessment performed by the British Industrial Biological Research Association (BIBRA) in the late 1997. Repeated oral administration had been shown to affect the liver, kidney, testis and uterus of rats.[7] According to the conventional European rules for food packaging materials, the TDI became a basis for the SML of 60 mg/kg. 1. Introduction The utilization of renewable resources in the field of polymer synthesis has gained a great deal of attention due to the growing public concerns for the environmental concerns and the sustainable development [1, 2]. Soybean oil (ESO) is the bio-based product from the epoxidation of soybean oil with hydrogen peroxide and either acetic or formic acid obtained by converting the double bonds into epoxy groups, which is non-toxic and of higher chemical reactivity [3]. It is mainly used as a green plasticizer for many plastics currently [4]. Meanwhile it has also attracted an increasing attention as a green epoxy resin utilizing the reactive epoxy groups into both the monomer synthesis and the polymer preparation due to its low cost, little toxicity, and large production, which imply its great potential in industrial process [5]. ESO can be converted by different kinds of reactions with co-monomers and/or initiators [6]. Permanent network that comes from the directing cross-linking of ESO and hardeners endows ESO with great stability, superior mechanical properties and satisfying chemical resistance, which make the products competitive among a variety of materials. In addition, the chemical modification of ESO has gained more and more attention in recent years. Introducing hydroxyl groups to make polyols for polyurethanes synthesis is one of the most important chemical modification methods [7]. Acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) obtained by ring opening esterification between acrylic acid and ESO is of high reactivity for thermal and UV initiated polymerization [8, 9]. This chapter reviews the applications of ESO and its derivatives for the preparation of a series of bio-based polymeric materials. 2. Direct cross-linking 2.1 Amine hardeners Functional amines are widely used as curing agents for generating epoxy resin. For ESO, a series of amines used as curing agents are listed in Table 1 and the reaction scheme between ESO and amine is shown in Figure 1. Most of the researchers focused on the investigation of the cross-linking process of partially bio-based polymers because of the unsatisfying properties of fully bio-based ones. Three main methods can be applied to improve the properties of ESO-based thermosets, which are using commercial curing agents, adding commercial epoxy resins to ESO, and adding other materials to make composites [10, 11, 12]. SOYBEAN OIL Soybean oil, better known by its acronym, ESBO, is a plasticizer used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. It serves as a plasticizer and as a scavenger for hydrochloric acid liberated from PVC when the PVC undergoes heat treatment.
